This puzzle:

Notepad: Four answers in this puzzle are missing the same eight-letter clue - a single word that can be spelled from the eight circled letters. When the puzzle is done, connect the circled letters in order with a line, and you will get an outline of the object the word names.

JimH notes: The missing clues are all UMBRELLA. Spell that word by connecting the dots letter by letter to see the shape.
